<p>Walt Whitman once said “we all contain multitudes,” and writer/performer Gabby Villegas was all like, “yeah especially me” so she wrote a bunch of characters and is showcasing them to you lovely folks. You might be thinking, “Renaissance Woman? Like ren faire?” To which we say - no silly. Renaissance Woman like if DaVinci was a girl. Like DaVinci, Gabby is a real Jack of all trades. There’s math and science and art in this show. Well…kinda. Actually this show has some pretty unsound representations of these subjects, but hey, we never said we were nerds. You should come see :)</p>
